U.S. Senator Rand Paul: NSA ‘Could Be Spying’ on Obama -- Robert Costa, NRO

In light of a recent report, Senator Rand Paul (R., Ky.) fears the National Security Agency may be spying on President Barack Obama. “They could well be spying on the president, for all I know,” Paul says, in an interview with National Review Online. “He has a cell phone, and, in fact, my guess is that they have collected data on the president’s phone.”

Paul also believes the federal government may be tracking Pope Francis. “The most important question we need to ask the NSA is, ‘Are you telling us you’re collecting no data on the pope?’ And, ‘Did you collect any information on him when he was the archbishop, while staying in a certain residence in Rome at the time of the election?’ I don’t think they’re telling the truth.”

Earlier today, Paul introduced a Senate resolution, calling for the president to address the story published Wednesday by Panorama, an Italian magazine.

My Comment: He does have a cell phone .... and I doubt that his number has been deleted in the NSA data-base (or maybe it has). But if there is one thing that I have learned in the past few months .... those who are NOT being monitored by the NSA are the exception rather than the rule.
